Day 3: A Book You Love

I love many books, but I just finished Out Of The Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis.

It. Was. Amazing.

Admittedly, it did take me a little bit to really get into it, but once I did, oh my! I was underlining passages right and left!

It is basically about a man who gets kidnapped, taken to another planet, and is forced to find his own way once there. But it is also thought-provoking, and eye-opening, and gave me tons to think about.

I would highly recommend it.

2011: The Year of Reading

After my last book post, I've slowed down considerably. I read The Reader (Der Vorlesser) by Bernhard Schlink and started Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, and No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. I really need to focus on spending more time reading, and less time on the computer. It's a constant struggle. Are any of you reading anything great? I'm always up for recommendations :).

2011: The Year of Reading

Since my last post about books I've been reading like a fiend. Seriously.

I finished Brave New World, The Road, Never Let Me Go, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. I highly recommend them all, minus Never Let Me Go, which was good, but not great. I love the feeling of being engrossed in a book. So. Amazing.

Speaking of amazing, if you haven't read The Road or The Hunger Games trilogy do so now. Yes that's an order. You'll thank me later.

Anywho, I have class to get to, bleh. But, next up is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Hopefully it will live up to it's reputation.

Summer Reading

I usually don't get to do much reading (outside of textbooks) during the school year.

But now that the summer has come, I've become a hardcore bookworm.

So far I've finished: The Lacuna and Persuasion, and I'm working on The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. They have all been great so far, but I have to admit I'm partial to Persuasion, probably due to the deep love for Jane Austen my parents instilled in all of us as children.
